Government plans market study on Digital Competition Bill

In an effort to revive the Digital Competition Bill (DCB), the ministry of corporate affairs is planning to rope in an agency to conduct market study on certain critical aspects of the bill. As per the request for proposal (RFP) floated by the ministry, the market study will look into the qualitative and quantitative thresholds proposed under the DCB, and whether there’s a need to revise the thresholds specified in an earlier draft for the identification of Big Tech firms.
